Abstract
Provided herein is a small modular nuclear reactor plant that can comprise a reactor core comprising a primary sodium comprising cool primary sodium flow and heated primary sodium flow. Heated primary sodium flow can enter one or more IHXs where heated primary sodium exchanges heat with secondary sodium flowing through at least one intermediate sodium loop. Intermediate sodium loop can comprise secondary sodium flow that can transport heat to energy conversion portion via a heat exchanger. Energy conversion portion can comprise a bypass valve. Bypass valve can bypass an energy conversion working fluid (such as S-CO2) away from a turbine during periods of adjustment as discussed herein. The plant may comprise passive load following features along with the ability to provide cogeneration heat.
